We reach now the apogee of the James younger confederation s outlaw supremacy in Missouri. The last affair in free Bontery from which the boys of both families Rode away unscathed was a Success measurably Brilliant. Boys they were no longer nor even youths. Frank Jam a and Coleman younger were past 32. Robert younger youngest of them All had Reache his 23rd year. Both the Jameses had become married both were Good family it is a remark Able fact that not even the most shameless fiction lists have insinuated the slightest deviation upon the part of either Jesse James or Frank James from the straight path of marital faithfulness. All of the outlaws were now a any strict stickler for conventional comportment might suggest old enough to know better than to Rob trains or Banks As a Means of Liveli Hood. For men of their years they had one May say it thus extraordinarily wide and varied experience in Active life. Much had they travelled Many states and cities Hud they seen and Many successful campaigns had they carried out in their own Peculiar fashion. But the Border bandits had been riding1 to a full though the fall was not quite yet. One More victorious Campaign was to be theirs. Bandits recognized As the Rocky Cut Holdup this affair was known for some years but we shall Call it simply the Otterville train robbery. Not Long after this High tide of Riding out of nowhere robbing and Riding Back into no where the two family confederacy was to split in Twain upon Crim soned shards in a Distant state the younger Section retiring permanently from the Field. The robbery of the mis Souri Pacific train near Otterville. Cooper county my soul july 7, is78, was exactly two months before the violent mashup. This Campaign is important in the chronicles because for the very first time we Are Able to say definitely who were the eight men comprising the raiding Force. The men who robbed that train were Jesse Woodson James Alexan Der Franklin James. Thomas Coin Man younger. Robert younger Mcclellan Miller. William Stiles Samuel Wells and Hobbs Kerry. Stiles Lias appeared heretofore As Bill Chadwell and Wells As Charlie Pitts. Fortunately we have with us a Man who saw that train robbery from the inside. Make the acquaint Ance of or. Louis Peter Conklin of Chicago Pete Conklin to his friends for More than half a Century a faithful bag Gage master on Railroad trains in the Middle West. He is i native of St. Louis. For nearly 50 years Pete Conklin has passed amongst Trout men As the Man who was held up by Jesse Jesse James everybody admits held up Many men but our or. Conklin gets the Honor of the definite article when to is introduced As presumably the sole survivor of the Otterville hold up. Story in a recent interview or. Conklin the author the Story of that affair As he remembers it and his friends aver that his memory is of letter file accuracy. Passages in Peter Conklin s own words will be used in telling most of the Story of this High tide train raid the train left Kansas City at 4.45 o clock Friday afternoon july 7, for St. Louis. I came along As baggage master. We carried a combination sex dress and baggage car a smoker several Day coaches and two Pullman sleepers. All the coaches were fairly Well filled with passengers. At Sedalia 13 Miles West of Otterville we took on an express car from the Missouri Kansas Texas or Katy Road and it was coupled in next to our express baggage car. The Katy car was locked nobody Riding in it. The car in which i worked had front and rear platforms and both Aldo and doors. In the car with was John b. Bushnell. Of Louis messenger for the United states express company. Bushnell Lead two safes in his care. On e belonged to his own company the other to the a dams express company. Both of course were locked though Bushnell had no key to the Adams Safe which was simply being carried through a special express. Train sharply i it was a Beautiful Moonlit night i rather hot. After i finished handling the baggage taken on at Sedalia i sat Down in a chair near one of tha nude doors to Cool off. I was Admir ing the scenery when rather suddenly about 10 ., the train came to a s top near the Western of the wooden Bridge across the Lamina River a mile or so cast of Otterville. This was in a place called Rocky Cut the name of which explains its character. First thing i knew some body fired a. Shot. Later i found that the Bullet had struck the door Frame a few inches from where i had been sitting. I jumped out. Of my chair and took to cover. Outside were Sev eral men shouting and shooting. Pretty soon three men climbed into my car. Bushnell. Aware that a j robbery was on the immediate Pio j gramme went Back in the train and i handed the brakeman the key of his i Safe. The Safe had no combination j lock. When the robbers entered the i car they searched me for weapons and told me to stand up to one Side which i did. Their big guns did t look Nice to Young Pete Conklin. I they brought in the Engineer and i fireman and lined them up with me. Some of them had climbed nto the cab and Sot the drop on Tho engine Crew. I each of the three robbers in the car also one who stayed just outside and fired a shot now and then to scare us wore red band Anna handkerchief tied around the lower part of the face. All Lead six shooters looked like those big old Colt s navies that were in such Gen eral use then. I have always believed that the Man just outside the car was Frank James and that two of Chest who came into my car were Jesse Jamrs j and Cole younger. I saw James frequently in St. Louis after he came in and was acquitted and from descriptions of Jesse and Cole i formed the belief that they Wera two thirds of the Trio that worked in my car for an hour that night. The third probably was Bob. Youn Bushnell was found but he told the Bandit did t have the key. Find was the Sharp order. Bushnell was taken into one of the sleepers where the brakeman sat. Threatened with death Tho Hakeman handed Over the key. The Man with the big gun then marched us All Back to the baggage car. I opening safes. Back in our car the robbers got Busy. The . Express Safe was opened with the key and the Cash. Was taken out and placed in a. Long wheat sack by one of the outlaws. Then the Leader of the James say to the Adams express Safe. The key to he demanded looking fiercely at Bushnell. We could see Only his eyes and forehead but those eyes were fierce All right they were Blue eyes and Blinky eyes. I Don t the messenger re plied explaining in some detail that the Safe was being shipped through locked. the robbers seemed to conclude that he was telling the truth As in fact he was. One of the men a wiry fellow of medium size who seemed to have a lot of initiative skipped ahead to the engine tender. I think he was Young Bob younger. He got the fireman a Coal Hammer or pick and brought it into the car. He tried to break tie hinges of the Safe door with the Ham Mer but failed. Then he gave the door several Sharp digging blows with the pointed of the pick. This had Little or no effect. A bigger Bandit with a fast like a Harn seized the pick and dealt Sev eral blows. This Man from his Superior size and strength i have no doubt was Cole younger. At last he made an opening in the Metal. After a dozen or More of hard licks he stopped and tried to thrust his hand through the ragged Hole. I fancy he. Lost some of his skin the smaller fellow brushed him aside. 1 t Wear a no. 7 Glove and can get my hand in where yours won t to said. The fellow stuck in his hand As far As he Tiu old and found a leather Pouch containing Money. He had 10 take a knife and Cut open the Pouch it being too big to poll through the Hole. A got the Money though Ard it went into the wheat sack with the packages of currency from the . Express Safe. All this hard work on a hot night made the robbers thirsty. One of them asked me where the drink ing water was kept. In those Days water aboard trains was served from buckets. I indicated the location of our water bucket. The Bandit ordered me to Sample the water. I took two Good it myself for my feeling what you might Call kind o dry. The robber satisfied that we had not poisoned the Supply drank heartily. His companions did likewise. They All seemed to be fond of the innocent drink. Hurry up. The Man guarding uie outside of my Frank James to be per getting impatient. " hurry up. In he would Call out. What s the matter won t that fellow give you the key shoot the son of a gun but the inside workers continued about their business Calm enough to keep their Heads. The Man who seemed to be the Leader of the gang James As 1 me what was in Tho other express car. I explained that it was a car from the Rafaty and i did t know what was in it. He insisted that i unlock the door and take him into that car. The key to my car fitted the lock so i opened it on demand and threat that overgrown Colt we went in and the robber looked about. Satisfying himself that there was nothing the gang could use to advantage or get without too Mueh delay and danger he the other me. The robbers were now about through with their work but one of them suggested that they go Back and hold up the passengers. I want to get me a Good he said meaning a watch. Said the Leader we be been Here Long enough. Other trains will be Alons soon. We must get away now. Al they loped out and were off in a Jiffy. But just before they left one said to me now Young fellow you d better go to the rear of the train and remove some ties we put on the track there might cause trouble if you Don to with others went to the rear and lifted off a few ties they had placed there after the train stopped. I could hear their horses stamp ing nut t could not see the animals out in the Trees. After a parting shot they All disappeared and the night became As silent As a Tomb they had been there just one hour by my continued daily Rippli Mason great men. Reat Man in swarm Asil t sem bled at Dayton ten Nessee the awestruck natives trembled before their majesty. Of there Ware men of learning too deep for Rue to sound their words with wis Dom burning left wreaths smoke around. And orators Majestic great verbal acro bats wreaths foreign and Domestic were seen upon their hats. And lawyers strangely gifted the chieftains of their clan were there to see facts sifted concerning ape and Man. For Daya the Village Geezer could not traverse the Pike but he would meet a Caesar a Daniel or the like. With great men drawn together the weather should be Cool alas the Dayton weather would suffocate a mule. Great men to be imposing should have a frigid Mien new dignity die closing in every passing scene. Their garb should be unsullied their White and Fine their maps should not be bullied by. Rivulets of brine. But All these stately strangers were melting in the Sun and soon the native grangers considered them Good fun. How soon we Are forget Ting the Fame of mighty links when we behold them sweating and Walling for Cool drinks when we behold them doffing their collars ties we turn from Awe to scoffing and ridicule the Wise. We recognize their splendours until they Peel their vests and show their moist suspenders and then they Are but Jesta. The great men m6pped. And melted until their souls to Reid the while they bravely pelted the court with words but no men there in Dayton will Bow to High estate or humbly Bend and wait on the High imported great. 1825, George Laft thew Adams.
